ok i just downloaded gimp.
i had a look at a brief guide on how to make sigs on it.

i made a quick sig which isn't very good, the background is a mix of random brushes and the text i did wrong and didn't know how to remove it xD.

Hi there Meh. That sig is OK for starters (you should see my first sig http://z8.invisionfree.com/Dragonball_Z_Fo...showtopic=12664 :lol:).

One tip: You should make the text, the brushes, the background - everything on separate layers so you can easily remove them if you want to.

Tip #2 : I'll PM you with some GIMP tut links that are bound to help you get started - you'd be surprised how easy it can be.

P.S. I've just switched to Photoshop, but I know my way around GIMP - if you need anything, just ask ;).

Thankyou.
this sig was made quickly, i literally google searched gimp sig guide(or something like that) and followed a random guide.

the basic guide i used only used two layers, the background and the rendor/text.

but yea thankyou thinking about it it makes much more sence to have evrything on a different layer, i would have then been able to easily remov the text :p.

EDIT
read through the guide and followed it mostly(may have made some mistakes), the only think i still can't do is the text as i don't know how to import them into gimp, or where to find some good ones, so i used some standard one that came out pretty bad.
but i think the backgrounds an inprovemnt :p
